Sanford has used SHARPIE markers on CDs for years and we have never experienced a problem. We do not believe that the SHARPIE ink can affect these CDs, however we have not performed any long-term laboratory testing to verify this. We have spoken to many major CD manufacturers about this issue. They use the SHARPIE markers on CDs internally as well, and do not believe that the SHARPIE ink will cause any harm to their products.
Seems a little large here as well. On Windows I've been running Foxmail since forever, and it does everything mail related very well in much less memory.
The RSS/newsgroup functionality of Thunderbird is great, but the memory footprint is huge.
Personally, I'd rather starve in the street than go one minute in jail. I couldn't bear the shame...
What shame? The shame of being wealthy for the remainder of your life without having to work again? While any prison isn't a cakewalk, he's not going to Rikers.
The jail time isn't the issue for him, as he'll only serve about 3 years anyway even if he gets 9. What he has to be concerned about is financial lawsuits. The state should be able to fine him huge amounts for what he's done, to the point of driving him to bankruptcy. Unfortunately in many states they're not allowed to take away your primary residence, so he can still be worth quite a bit. And he most likely has money stashed away somewhere.
Crime does in fact, pay. Even sometimes when you get caught.
"Analyst Rob Enderle of the Enderle Group said Transitive benefits from the fact that most modern machines are fast enough to emulate each other without much affecting performance."
All I needed to know. This guy will say anything and if he appears in your press release (yeah, it's an "article" but certainly the material is in a press release), chances are you're straining for credible commentary.
Marconi can be credited with key innovations that led to the first practical system of wireless telegraphy.
He can be credited, but not correctly. He made no key innovations over Tesla's system. He was a businessman.
The parallels today's software world with Gates in the position of Marconi. Great businessman, but not an innovator. But he is who "the unwashed masses" know and who will probably be remembered in the history books.
Why is this anything more than just a slightly more efficient way of doing a hybrid gas-electric system by putting the engine in the wheel.
Well, I believe most hybrid cars today are parallel hybrids - the (gas/diesel) engine can power the drivetrain directly, and the car will use the engine or the electric motor or both depending on conditions and demand.
This bus (and potential other hybrid cars today) is a series hybrid. The only thing powering the drivetrain is the electric motor. The engine either charges the batteries or powers the motor, but never directly powers the drivetrain.
While having the motor built into the hub reduces the number of parts and connectors (shafts, u-joints) that rob efficiency, it would seem the major item for efficiency is not so much because of the "inside out" motor, but because of the direct drive on the wheel with fewer parts.
This same company has a similar motor for smaller vehicles here. It uses short axles so the motor is not direct on the wheel.
There are some space considerations with this motor, but while it would work on a bus, such a large amount of unsprung weight on a smaller vehicle would not promote a great ride or handling.

If it were an issue you can bet Sanford would be covering their ass legally and not making such a claim.
Have you compared Eclipse's resource footprint to JBuilder/Netbeans/VA Java? It's more bloated.
I've been a regular user of VA-Java/Smalltalk for years, and Eclipse uses a lot more resources and is missing many features the Envy-based repositories have.
[Obligatory MS bash] Tell that to Gates. [/obligatory MS bash]
Seriously though, the "there's never time to do it right, but there's always time to do it over" camp has a lot going for it. If you cannot do it quick someone else will.
On the surface a product riddled with bugs looks very similar to one thoroughly tested. Then when a customer starts filing defect reports, you can amaze them with your quick turnaround and great customer service in fixing them.
It's a sad commentary, but it's how most business works.
If it's a question of losing the customer to another shop that works quick and dirty, do it Q&D.
But get, in "writing" (email), confirmation from the powers that be that you're circumventing procedures in order to get the work done within the timeframe needed.
They can either attempt to explain to the potential customer that it will take longer for a quality product or simply not say a word.
At that point it is their choice. Give them all the options, cover your ass, and get the work done as they want it. If they come back to give you crapola, show them the paper trail of approval for what you've done.
A key reliability measurement indicator is defect density, defined as the number of defects found per thousand lines of source code.
Since LOC is a poor metric, a "defect density" measurement based on that will be just as poor.
Yes, I know there's not much else to go on, but something along the lines of putting the program through its paces, stress testing, load testing, etc. would be a much better measurement than a metric based on LOC.
Whether Scholes was successful or not with the QWERTY design does not change his intent. He was going for presses by alternating hands as often as possible.
Read, "Century of the Typewriter" by Wilfred A. Beeching for more information then you'd ever want to know about the history of the keyboard.
From the article:
QWERTY was originally designed by Christopher Sholes to slow typing down.
That's simply wrong. QWERTY was designed to speed typing up by spacing out the most used keys to different sides of the keyboard.
QWERTY was designed as he states to reduce jamming of the hammers, not to slow typists down. Even without hammers QWERTY was still faster due to the use of both hands for common letters.

Blackboxvoting.org has a story regarding why this story sounds like disinformation.

Do people not remember Taligent?

I have one that was given to me 5 years ago. It is still running fine.

From This article (and others), will Google retain the gmail.com domain? Is it even in jeopardy?
The accounts options in Gaim are not the same as the server-side account linking done by AOL. I'd like to reuse that info.
If you know differently, feel free to correct. RTFM isn't terribly useful, but I'm sure you knew that.
Is there a way to have linked screen names in GAIM so they all show up in the same buddy list window?

That link is from October 2003.
That might have been the first time you've heard of him, but he's been well known (both on and off Slashdot) for much longer than that.
He gained a lot of his exposure badmouthing OS/2 back in the day.
